The Brook Curriculum
At Brook, our broad and balanced curriculum is child-centred; designed to provide our students
with transferable skills; engaging our pupils to develop a thirst for new knowledge, promoting
opportunities which prepare our pupils so that they become successful, lifelong learners; making
positive contributions to our community, society and wider world.
Our pupils have a sense of belonging within the school, their key stage, class and house group
which also develops through their understanding of their role in our community, society and wider
world. Our curriculum promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of
pupils; preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
The Core Subjects
Reading
We fully appreciate the importance of reading, and particularly reading for pleasure.
At Brook, we strive to:
• Prioritise reading as a life-long skill
• Listen to each child read at least once a week
• Teach explicit reading skills for at least 30 minutes each day
• Provide our children with engaging reading material (This year we have invested over
£3000 in new books!)
